Wings Over Flagler Warbird Fly-In

This fantastic event is coming up on March 26th-27th right here in Flagler County. In its second year, this show is put on my one of my customers. Bill "Pirate" Mills, a retired Navy pilot, runs Blue Sky Yakrobatics. Besides being a fine pilot, he also has great taste in rum and women (tip of the hat to Kimberly).

This will be a super show and a great family day opportunity. Advance tickets will be available beginning February 20 at $5 for adults, $3 for ages 13-17. Kids under 12 get in free (must be accompanied by an adult). The price is right peeps! As an added bonus, meet the pilots at the Golden Lion on Friday March 25th!

The Annual Wings Over Flagler Warbird Fly-In is a joint effort between The Flagler County Airport and local Warbird Enthusiast Bill Mills of Blue Sky Yakrobatics. The idea for WOF started from a casual conversation, the county’s desire to host an Airshow, and the passion of Blue Sky Yakrobatics to bring aviation to a larger audience. The success of our first event lead to the development of Mills Aviation Charities, Inc. (MAC) a Non-Profit Corporation dedicated to raising aviation awareness, preserving aviation history, educating, and providing less fortunate youth with the opportunity to follow their aviation dreams. This is going to be a great partnership for the community.

Pilots from all over the country enjoy a venue to share their aircraft. Wings Over Flagler gives our community the opportunity to come out and learn about the history of the aircraft and meet the pilots that fly them. Each year we will endeavor to make the Wings Over Flagler Event one you won't want to miss! *wingsoverflagler.com
